Science Literacy Week 2017

Join us at Cameron Library from September 18 to 21, where we will host a number of presentations, demos, and displays showcasing the diverse scientific research conducted by students and staff at the University of Alberta and by partners from across Edmonton local!

From paleontology and zoology, molecular gastronomy and board games, to robotics and makerspaces, the breadth of knowledge and research in science is amazing! Science Literacy Week gives students and staff the opportunity to get up close and personal with science and learn from those who are passionately engaged about their research and work.
